South Florida transfer John Egbunu is headed to Florida, according to multiple media reports.

Egbunu was one of the most highly-sought after big men on this year’s transfer market after averaging 7.4 points, 6.2 boards and 1.3 blocks this past season. The 6-foot-10 center picked the Gators over Michigan State, Virginia Tech and Georgetown. Arizona also showed interest, but opted to take Boston College transfer Ryan Anderson instead.

He’ll have to sit out the 2014-2015 season, but he will have three years of eligibility remaining beginning in 2015-2016. The hope is that he can spend a year redshirting and developing in Florida’s program and become a major contributor for the Gators.
